Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches

Product Overview

The Cisco Nexus™ 5000 Series Switches comprise a family of line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10

Gigabit Ethernet, Cisco® Data Center Ethernet, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switches

for data center applications (Figure 1).

Figure 1. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Includes the Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch, Cisco Nexus 5020 Switch that Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Cisco Data Center Ethernet, and FCoE

Today’s data centers are increasingly filled with dense rack-mount and blade servers that host

powerful multicore processors. The rapid increase of in-rack computing density, along with the

increasing use of virtualization software, combine to push the demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and

consolidated I/O: applications for which the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is the perfect match. With

low latency, front-to-back cooling, and rear-facing ports, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed

for data centers transitioning to 10 Gigabit Ethernet as well as for those ready to deploy a unified

fabric that can handle their LAN, SAN, and server clusters, networking over a single link (or dual

links for redundancy).

The switch family, using cut-through architecture, supports line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all

ports while maintaining consistent low latency independent of packet size and services enabled.

The product family supports Cisco Data Center Ethernet capabilities that increase the reliability,

efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks. These features allow the switch to support multiple

traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet fabric, thus enabling consolidation of LAN, SAN, and

cluster environments. Its ability to connect FCoE to native Fibre Channel protects existing storage

system investments while dramatically simplifying in-rack cabling. In addition to supporting

standard 10 Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) on servers, the Cisco Nexus 5000

Series integrates with multifunction adapters called converged network adapters (CNAs) that

combine the functions of Ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs), making the

transition to a single, unified network fabric transparent and consistent with existing practices,

management software, and OS drivers. The switch family is compatible with integrated

transceivers and Twinax cabling solutions that deliver cost-effective connectivity for 10 Gigabit

Ethernet to the servers at the rack level, eliminating expensive optical transceivers.

Data Sheet


The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch is designed for data center environments with cut-through

technology that enables consistent low-latency Ethernet solutions, with front-to-back cooling, and

with network ports in the rear, bringing switching into close proximity with servers and making

cable runs short and simple. The switch family is highly serviceable, with redundant, hot-pluggable

power supplies and fan modules. It uses data center–class Cisco NX-OS Software for high

reliability and ease of management.

Cisco Nexus 5020 56-Port Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5020 is a two rack-unit (2RU), 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Cisco Data Center Ethernet,

FCoE, and Fibre Channel switch built to provide 1.04 terabits per second (Tbps) throughput with

very low latency (Figure 2). It has 40 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Cisco Data Center Ethernet, and

FCoE Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports. The first 16 fixed ports support both 10

Gigabit Ethernet and 1 Gigabit Ethernet in hardware, providing a smooth migration path to 10

Gigabit Ethernet. Two expansion module slots can be configured to support up to 12 additional 10

Data Sheet


Figure 5. The Cisco Nexus 2148T Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Extender Supports 48 Fixed Ports of Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) Interfaces for Server Connectivity and Up to 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet Uplink Interfaces

The first product in the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series is the Cisco Nexus 2148T Fabric Extender. The

Cisco Nexus 2148T provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) server ports and 4 10 Gigabit

Ethernet uplink ports in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. Designed with architecture to

provide the benefits of both top-of-rack and end-of-row configurations, the Cisco Nexus 2148T

features front-to-back cooling compatible with data center hot-aisle and cold-aisle designs, all

switch ports at the rear of the unit in close proximity to server ports, and all user-serviceable

components accessible from the front panel (Figure 5).

Efficient Transceiver and Cabling Options

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports a wide variety of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity options

using Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ modules.

In addition, a subset of the ports on the Cisco Nexus 5020 and 5010 support Gigabit Ethernet

connectivity options using 1GBASE SFP modules, and 4/2/1-Gbps Fibre Channel SFP interfaces

are supported with expansion module options.

Table 1 lists the supported transceiver options.

The high bandwidth of 10 Gigabit Ethernet poses challenges to transmissions that are met by the

transceiver and cabling options supported by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series.

The product family supports an innovative Twinax copper cabling solution that connects to

standard SFP+ connectors for in-rack use, and optical cabling for longer cable runs (Table 2).

● For in-rack or adjacent-rack cabling, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports SFP+ direct-

attached 10 Gigabit Ethernet copper, an innovative solution that integrates transceivers

with Twinax cables into an energy-efficient, low-cost, and low-latency solution. SFP+ direct-

attached 10 Gigabit Twinax copper cables uses only 0.1 watt (W) of power per transceiver

and introduces only approximately 0.25 microsecond of latency per link.

Data Sheet


● For longer cable runs, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports multimode, short-reach

optical SFP+ transceivers. These optical transceivers use approximately 1W per

transceiver and have a latency of less than 0.1 microsecond.

Both of these options provide lower latency and higher energy efficiency than 10GBASE-T. This

standard uses transceivers that consume 4 to 8W per transceiver and contribute a latency of up to

2.5 microseconds per link, making the 10GBASE-T standard a significant contributor to network-

level power consumption.

Features and Benefits

The switch family’s rich feature set makes it ideal for top-of-rack, middle-of-row, or end-of-row

access-layer applications. It protects investments in data center racks with Cisco Data Center

Ethernet, FCoE features, and virtual machine awareness features that allow IT departments to

consolidate networks based on their own requirements and timing. The combination of high port

density, lossless Ethernet, wire-speed performance, and extremely low latency makes the switch

an ideal product to meet the growing demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet with the capability to support

Cisco Data Center Ethernet in enterprise and service provider data centers, protecting enterprises'

investments. The switch family has sufficient port density to support single or multiple racks fully

populated with blade and rack-mount servers.

● Built for today’s data centers, the switches are designed just like the servers they support.

Ports and power connections are at the rear, closer to server ports, helping keep cable

lengths as short and efficient as possible, delivering benefits traditionally offered on blade

servers to rack servers as well. Hot-swappable power and fan modules can be accessed

from the front panel, where status lights offer an at-a-glance view of switch operation.

Front-to-back cooling is consistent with server designs, supporting efficient data center hot-

and cold-aisle designs. Serviceability is enhanced with all customer-replaceable units

accessible from the front panel. The use of SFP+ ports offers increased flexibility to use a

range of interconnect solutions, including copper Twinax cable for short runs and fiber for

long runs.

● Cisco Data Center Ethernet features increase network scalability, support I/O consolidation,

ease management of multiple traffic flows, and optimize performance. Although

implementing SAN consolidation requires only the lossless fabric provided by the Ethernet

pause mechanism, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series provides additional features that create an

even more easily managed, high-performance, unified network fabric. Cisco Data Center

Ethernet features supported by the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series are outlined in Table 3.

Data Sheet


Table 3. Cisco Data Center Ethernet Features and Benefits

Cisco Data Center Ethernet Feature

Business Benefit

Priority flow control (PFC)

● Simplifies management of multiple traffic flows over a single network link

● Creates lossless behavior for Ethernet by allowing class-of-service (CoS)–based flow control

Bandwidth management

Enables consistent management of quality-of-service (QoS) at the network level by providing consistent scheduling of different traffic types (IP, storage, etc.)

Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX) Protocol

Simplifies network deployment and reduces configuration errors by providing autonegotiation of Cisco Data Center Ethernet features between the NIC and the switch and between switches

Congestion management (backward congestion notification [BCN]) (future)

Pushes congestion to network edges, providing better control over QoS; the Nexus Cisco 5000 Series hardware supports a precursor to IEEE 802.1Qau called BCN, which will be made available based on availability of other system components, such as adapters and core switches and routers

Layer 2 multipathing (hardware capable)

● Allows active-active uplinks from access switch

● Increases network performance and Layer 2 domain scale

● FCoE is a standards-based upper-layer protocol that maps Fibre Channel protocol and

services onto Layer 2 Ethernet. It is a straightforward encapsulation of Fibre Channel within

Ethernet that preserves existing Fibre Channel network management models and tools,

helping protect investments in software and staff training.

● Unified I/O consolidates all data center I/O onto Layer 2 Ethernet. Unified I/O reduces

capital and operating costs by reducing the number of server adapters, cables, and

upstream switches needed. All I/O (LAN, SAN, and cluster) typically is consolidated onto

two Ethernet links. Cisco Data Center Ethernet and FCoE enable the incorporation of Fibre

Channel frames into unified I/O, facilitating wire-once strategies in which all servers

become capable of SAN connection. A standard and uniform approach to I/O enhances

server and storage consolidation strategies. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series also connects to

existing native Fibre Channel networks, protecting current investments in storage networks.

Additionally, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series attaches to directly connected FCoE and Fibre

Channel storage devices and, as FCoE-enabled switching becomes available across the

data center, will support multi-tiered unified network fabric directly over FCoE.

● Energy efficiency achieved through the use of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches helps

data centers operate within their space, power, and cooling parameters while reducing their

carbon footprints. Every network link at the rack level requires adapters, switches, and

transceivers, all of which consume power. I/O consolidation reduces energy consumption

by eliminating the need for separate Fibre Channel adapters, cables, and switches. In many

cases, server cluster networks also can be consolidated onto 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks,

especially given the low latency of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series. The switch hardware is

also designed for energy efficiency. Variable-speed fans consume only the amount of

power necessary to cool the chassis at any point in time. The switch power supplies are

sized to support worst-case scenarios, where inefficient SFP+ transceivers increase power

draw; however, when low-power cabling solutions are deployed, the switch family’s power

supplies maintain 90 percent efficiency at only 25 percent utilization, making efficient use of

power in best-case scenarios.

● Consistent management for Cisco products is provided through consistency of both Cisco

NX-OS Software and Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS Software management models and tools.

The switch family network features can be managed using the Cisco command-line

interface (CLI), and the Fibre Channel and FCoE features can be managed through Cisco

Data Sheet


Fabric Manager Suite. In a future release, Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM)

will support the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch family. The capability to manage Ethernet

and FCoE features independently with existing Cisco tools preserves existing management

models, best practices, and investments in staff training. In addition, Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) MIBs, XML, and the Cisco CLI are made available to

customers for switch management through third-party and custom-developed tools. The

switch family leverages Cisco NX-OS Software for superior operational efficiency, pervasive

security, and continuous operation even through software upgrades.

● Software manageability and serviceability features include Smart Call Home and automated

parameter exchange (through DCBX). Security is enhanced through role-based access

control (RBAC); support for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), remote

TACACS+, and RADIUS servers; and Secure Shell (SSH) access.

Applications

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports a number of application scenarios that use it as an access-

layer switch co-located with servers in data center racks or for middle-of-row deployments.

● As an access-layer switch, it can be used purely as a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch,

consolidating 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections into a smaller number of server connections

trunked to the aggregation layer.

● In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2148T Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Extender, the Cisco

Nexus 5000 Series can be a high-density Gigabit Ethernet switching system, consolidating

more than 576 Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

● As a rack-level I/O consolidation platform, the switch carries Ethernet traffic from servers to

the aggregation layer and carries FCoE traffic to existing Fibre Channel SANs.

● As a crucial element in data center I/O consolidation, the switch paves the way with I/O

consolidation at the access layer and interoperability with the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series and

other standards-based products.

The capability of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series to function in all these capacities helps protect

investment in the data center with a deployment model in which additional features are enabled as

they are needed.

Rack-Level 10 Gigabit Ethernet Access-Layer Switch

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch family is designed with the density, performance, front-to-

back cooling, and rear port configuration that make it ideal for aggregating a large number of 10

Gigabit Ethernet links from servers into a smaller number of uplinks to aggregation-layer switches.

The switch port density allows each switch to support a single rack or neighboring racks using the

SFP+ direct-attached 10 Gigabit copper cabling option. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches

can be purchased with only the Ethernet capabilities enabled, allowing IT departments to deploy

them in parallel with existing Fibre Channel SANs. Figure 6 shows an active-active pair of Cisco

Nexus 5000 Series Switches cross-connected to redundant Ethernet NICs in servers. Instead of

using multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections to servers for LAN, virtual machine mobility

applications, and Small Computer System Interface over IP (iSCSI) SAN support, customers can

combine their traffic over a consolidated, lossless, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric.

Consolidated Gigabit Ethernet Top-of-Rack Access-Layer System

One deployment scenario involves equipping each data center rack with two Cisco Nexus 2148T

Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Extenders connected to two upstream Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches

(Figure 7). Up to 48 servers can connect to each Fabric Extender. Assuming that these servers are

dual-homed, a pair of Nexus 5020s can connect up to 576 servers (12 Fabric Extenders).

Figure 7. An Example Top-of-Rack Deployment Scenario Supports up to 576 servers with Only a Single Pair of Access-Layer Switches and No Oversubscription at the Rack Level.

Data Sheet


Unified Fabric with FCoE: I/O Consolidation

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series consolidates multiple networks—LAN, SAN, and server cluster—

onto a single unified fabric, saving the capital and operating expenses associated with multiple

parallel networks, switching infrastructure, and cabling. The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches are

compatible with third-party consolidated I/O adapters (Consolidated Network Adapters or CNAs)

that present separate Ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs to the server operating system. This

allows existing drivers and Fibre Channel management software to work transparently with FCoE.

Upstream, two different expansion modules support direct connections from the Cisco Nexus 5000

Series to existing native Fibre Channel SANs (Figure 8).

Figure 8. A Pair of Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switches in an Active-Active Configuration with Native Fibre Channel Connections to Two Storage Networks

Investment Protection with Unified I/O

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series supports consolidated I/O using FCoE on downlinks to servers.

FCoE is Fibre Channel and, as such, has familiar methods of configuration, operation, and

management. On the uplinks to the network, customers can choose between FCoE direct

attachment to storage systems and native Fibre Channel connection to existing SANs. FC and

FCoE exist simultaneously in the Fibre Channel network, allowing customers to continue to use

their existing administration and management tools. Cisco Fabric Manager SAN management

software manages both FC and FCoE flows over both FCoE– and FC capable ports.

Product Architecture

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is built around two custom components: a unified crossbar fabric

and a unified port controller ASIC. Each Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Switch contains a single unified

crossbar fabric ASIC and multiple unified port controllers to support fixed ports and expansion

modules within the switch.

The unified port controller provides an interface between the unified crossbar fabric ASIC and the

network media adapter and makes forwarding decisions for Ethernet, Cisco Data Center Ethernet,

Fibre Channel, and FCoE frames. The ASIC supports the overall cut-through design of the switch

by transmitting packets to the unified crossbar fabric before the entire payload has been received.

The unified crossbar fabric ASIC is a single-stage, nonblocking crossbar fabric capable of meshing

all ports at wire speed. The unified crossbar fabric offers superior performance by implementing

QoS-aware scheduling for unicast and multicast traffic. Moreover, the tight integration of the

Data Sheet


unified crossbar fabric with the unified port controllers helps ensure low-latency lossless fabric for

ingress interfaces requesting access to egress interfaces.
